Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevator safety, in particular to a safety limiter for an elevator hoist. Background Art
[0002] In the elevator control system, a limit switch is generally set at the upper and lower end stations of the shaft, and a striker is set on the elevator car. When the elevator exceeds the end station and continues to run, the striker will trigger the limit switch. After the limit switch is activated, the elevator control system will stop output and force the elevator to stop running, thereby preventing the elevator from hitting the top or bottom, ensuring the safety of the elevator passengers, and also ensuring the safety of the elevator maintenance personnel working in the shaft.
[0003] At present, temporary elevator hoists are built at construction sites. Since mechanical limiters are relatively cheap, mechanical safety limiters are used to prevent the elevator from hitting the top or the ground. However, the on-site construction environment is complicated and there are many dust particles. Mechanical limiters are prone to wear due to long-term use, which affects their performance and life. In addition, mechanical limiters have a slow response speed and require longer time to respond and stop the elevator operation, increasing the probability of accidents. Utility Model Content
